About us

With their rigorous climate marked by a distinct seasonal cycle, northern territories are gifted with unique fauna and flora adapted to their extreme reality: game, fresh water fish, wild fruit, forest mushrooms, lichen… inspired by these unique elements, a rising number of chefs are exploring this once neglected exceptional culinary legacy.

In Quebec, Jean-Luc Boulay and Arnaud Marchand, supported by a passionate team, have been standing up to the challenge of inventing quebec inspired northern cuisine since 2012. Connecting the abundant proximity of boreal forests and the exceptional quality of local products, they salvage amidst french techniques to favour a true encounter of flavours. Local, healthy and inventive, the Northern cuisine from Quebec expresses within each bite the very best of our emerging culinary tradition.

Superbe brunch! Les assiettes étaient savoureuses, bien présentées & pleines de belles saveurs boréales. Le service était chaleureux & attentionné du début à la fin. Une ambiance agréable & des plats originaux qui sortent du brunch traditionnel. Je recommande vivement!

My wife had a lovely meal here. We are not French speakers & the restaurant was more than happy to serve us in English. The food was delicious & the server & staff in general were extremely friendly & helpful. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a delicious meal in Quebec City.

Also, huge bonus, even though the restaurant was mostly full the volume was low so we were able to talk in a normal volume the whole evening!

Creative, unique menu. Beautiful vibe, great service. Compared to other Michelin rated (& priced) restaurants in the area, it's price point to actual quality is one of the best. Recommend.

The fact that this restaurant is Michelin rated casts doubt on the whole Michelin rating system. My family & I made reservations to celebrate my fiancé's birthday. Upon arrival, our initial impressions of the ambiance were underwhelming- the decor was uninspiring & the lighting was too bright. The staff, however, was very friendly & took the time to answer our menu questions. The food was mediocre & the drinks watered down. The haddock cake appetizer was very small & sat upon a soggy bed of lettuce. The beef cheek entree, apparently a staple-entree, was very tender but lacked any flavor. I cannot recommend this restaurant, unless you want to brag to your friends that you ate at a Michelin ranked restaurant.

We had an amazing dinner at Chez Boulay during our time in Quebec City. The food was incredible, & the service was fantastic. We showed up 30 min. before our reservation, & they were able to accommodate us. We would definitely recommend Chez Boulay & will be back if we're ever in the city.
